That second story is GROSS. Imagine encouraging your friend to try and cheat with your brother, like pushing your friend to sleep with your brother. In front of his wife. In their own home.

The whole thing is gross, it’s actually disgusting behaviour. I’m also laughing how the sister had a tantrum, it makes me think his half-sister wishes she could sleep with him, she’s weirdly controlling and trying to destroy his happy marriage… is she pushing her friend as an “alternative” as a de facto in her place? Either way, whole thing is gross, and I’d go low/no contact with his sister, she’s actually insane.

All her comments about how their unborn baby is “ruining things” and “should’ve had an abortion” just shows her true colours.

Yo, second story:
The OP is seiously a patient, collected and calm person, thinking about the situation as rationally as possible, while being aware her pregger hormones may be irking her, thus not acting recklessly, accusing him of cheating right away; and her husband is an absolute KING.

[b.c.]

Story 1: I feel so bad for OP. She lived in fear for so long. I also feel so bad for the husband. He did try to confront his mother and they went to therapy together. He must be feeling so guilty for not protecting OP better.

Story 2: god, I remember this story. SIL and Chloe suck so much. Infuriating.

Story 3: it's so incredibly shitty to leave kids out of the will. I'm glad the OP and the nephew have each other. The nephew seems like he'll do well.

RSLASH seems so exciting about the good lawyer husband. I think he has been reading these stories so much he forgets there is more good guys out there. He isn't alone.

[ZombieSazza]

Imagine calling her husband a “simp”. OP’s MIL is extremely TOXIC, imagine stalking your daughter in law for no actual reason. It’s disgusting behaviour and I’m so happy OP’s husband is standing beside her, cares about her safety and happiness.

First 2 stories: always so wholesome when someone is afraid to talk about something with their spouse, and it turns out they were thinking the exact same thing. Don't you love it when couples work through their issues together?

Story 1: I can imagine the only hymn being played at that MIL's funeral: "Ding-Dong, The Witch Is Dead!"

Story 2: OP's husband is not only a keeper, he deserves a freakin' MEDAL for defending his wife and unborn child the way he did!

[SamSparks]

The first story ended surprisingly wholesome. I'm glad that OP's husband is able to accept that his mother was being awful to his wife, and is supporting her instead of closing himself off and blaming OP for everything. I hope everything works out for them, and that they can move on from this and be happy.

Looks like the sister got her morals straight from her cheating mother.

[clawsoncentral]

My uncle lived through the second story, his SIL had a half sister who she would bring around his house and flirt with him. He noticed after a few days and shut it down real quick by making out with his wife right in front of them and saying "my beautiful wife who I love and will never cheat on...did I mention I hate blondes?" HS was a blonde.

Story 3 OP is an absolute gem for not only staying in contact with the nephew but helping him through school.

[silverflight]

Story 2: So Chloe started making advances, the husband got uncomfortable, and when he wants it to stop, the SIL is convinced that he's being abused by OP? What the peck?

How did SIL get from that to that?

[SailorMya]

So I have heard story 3 before and I think it is missing an update in the middle... I could have sworn there was an update where OP did confront the parents and found out that he was born after a miscarry where the parents had decided NOT to have more kids and he was just a "mistake". They also secretly resented his existence because they had to work more to support the family and "missed" out on watching their golden child grow up... That was when he cut them out but I hadn't heard this new update! Good to see OP thriving after all this time!!!

[dudeorduuude]

SIL is a product of cheating and trying to recreate the same scenario for her brother. She needs therapy.

[shadowman]

Story 2: Basically even Chloe is just a tool for the SIL. She's selfish and just trying to get OP's husband together so she herself can be closer to him because he's with her friend.

[xKCAZxLEADER]

First Story: Wow, its crazy that u discover who ur stalker was by their death. Not going to lie, OP's MIL was insane to be that invested into her son's relationship. The amount of manipulation this woman placed in this man makes her so very evil

Second Story: OP is not being delusional. This is all 100% red flags on Chloe and SIL's part. SIL IS trying to encourage Chloe to get with OP's husband and Chloe IS flirting with OP's husband. Glad that OP's husband was so observant and he immediately defended his wife against his sister. She criticize OP when she and her friend always come to the house to swim. Well, at least OP's husband seen his sister's true colors. OP needs to keep this man no matter what

Third Story: Well OP just discovered that their parents played favorites. I can’t stand parents who play favorites and knowing this, OP won’t need to feel obligated to help them with anything. Literally that comment; they will eventually seek OP for care

[trumediamix]

Holy shit... that first story... I just have no words, to be perfectly honest. At the very least, I can't imagine the kind of emotions and stress OP and their husband went through that whole experience. Makes me wish I could hug them both somehow from my computer desk.

*First OP:* Deleted has been going _through_ it!
Seriously, I hope OP and her husband can recover from LL that’s happened.
*Second OP:* I hope I marry a guy like OP’s husband (minus the BH SIL and Chloe). Actually, OP’s husband in the first story sounds great also. Anywho, I’m glad things worked out for OP.
As others have pointed out, I think Chloe's not the _only_ person attracted to OP's husband. I have a twisted thought: what if OP's SIL was forcing Chloe on OP's husband so that she (SIL) can live vicariously through her? I hope I'm wrong.
*Third OP:* OP’s parents didn’t even leave him any heirlooms?! How messed up. I’m glad OP went NC with his parents and sister, and I’m happy for him and his new family.

[itsuhh_luskywalkerr]

Husband in the second story is a real MVP, OP is lucky to find a man like that.
For the sister how awful that she thought it was ok to encourage an affair knowing OP was pregnant.

[QUEERVEEART]

first story: husband is a real man, a true stand up guy. in a moment of grief and guilt, he said something mean to his wife. however, later he reflected on it, figured out how he got there, and apologized to his wife. what wonderful emotional intelligence! i love it. wish our society valued that kinda thing more. its difficult to reflect on feelings, behavior, thoughts, etc and i hope it becomes a skill important to more people!
